This DVD-R edition has likely been mastered from files pirated from an Internet streaming site or from another companyâs home video edition.
The film is likely accompanied by a music score pirated from another companyâs home video edition or a soundtrack compiled from preexisting music recordings.
Note that this company apparently has a history of pirating other home video editions or pirating files from Internet streaming sites to produce their products. Be aware that purchasing pirated home video editions does not benefit the original edition producers nor the composers whose music is often pirated as well.
Sight unseen, this is our recommended home video edition of the film.
